“People abuse the right to own a gun. I guess those who support the right to own a gun also support that right?”

Huh? People abuse the right of free speech, owning a car, attending a baseball game and eating pizza. None of those things are abusive by nature. Abortion is. I can’t understand how you can stretch yourself into equating them. It’s absurd. It’s even more absurd that I’m arguing with you about it. It’s like arguing that water is important when you’re saying, “nah, not really”.

Stalin said that one death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic. Fifty five million of our fellow citizens never had a chance to enjoy life. The Left sees that as a victory. How are they able to look themselves in the mirror?

You’ve got to absolutely love the mainstream, totally not biased, media. They turn an unknown state Senator into a national hero because she favors abortions and outfits herself in running shoes and fake boobs. They give her so much positive publicity that she decides to run for Governor of Texas. Only, she turns out to be a liar and a fraud. And, the MSM/Democrats are stuck with her. It’s the best story of the year. She goes on to blame the Abbot campaign for a story written by an MSNBC contributor and hater of all things Conservative. She challenges her paraplegic to walk in her shoes and says he doesn’t understand what it’s like to struggle. Bless her heart. She’s gonna lose by 20+ points. Often times I despise the MSM. Then, they go and out do themselves. Allsome job guys. And, thank you.

“While FNC celebrates the scandal of Wendy Davis the NJ Governor is the gift that keeps on giving for MSNBC.”

^^Politicians fudge there bios all the time Think Rubio and Romney. Heck Greg Abbott made his fortune by suing a hapless homeowner for $10 million in what, by Republican standards, was a frivolous law suit. lets talk about that.

Re Cristie: I’ll bet Mayor Zimmer told half a dozen people at the time about the Christie threat. And I’m sure at least a couple of those people emailed someone else at the time to pass on the story.

Even so the diary can’t be faked. This is 2014 not 1914. Modern forensics can spot a fake a mile away by the type of ink and pen used and the diaries that come before and after the threat diary.

How about being an outright gold digger who took hubby’s money to go to college, lied about it, and divorced the chump the day she got the sheepskin. Sorry Fritz, this trailer park trash couldn’t get elected Texas dog catcher.

Watched the America Tonight re-run. I don’t know how ANYONE can watch Rachel or Megyn when that show’s on. That is some real, serious, hardcore journalism there. They’re Honey Badgers over there – they’re tackling very real, very complicated and very controversial subjects that the other networks won’t dare touch.

Her original story was that the aid was withheld because she wouldn’t support Christie for re-election. Then she changed it to not supporting a redevelopment project. Who knows what tomorrow’s version will be?

The US offshoot of the Mideast news outfit managed fewer than half of the viewers who tuned in to its predecessor, Al Gore’s Current TV.
Al Jazeera America has averaged just 13,000 viewers a day since its Aug. 20 launch — on par with a public access channel. In the 25- to 54-year-old audience sought by advertisers, it drew 5,000 viewers.

The ratings are so low, they are considered a “scratch” and aren’t reported by Nielsen.

Sean Hannity is headed to the State of the Union address as the guest of a politician whom he could one day serve alongside.
The conservative radio host will join Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert, a fellow outspoken critic of President Barack Obama who has been a guest for Hannity many times and filled in for him on his radio show, according to a report by the Dallas Morning News.

The NRA is at the forefront of punishing those who use guns illegally. Project Exile was their baby. Anytime someone abuses the Second Amendment, the NRA always look to increase punishment for those violators.

Meanwhile, on the Left side of the aisle, everyone circles the wagons and prevents any sort of oversight whenever a Planned Parenthood clinic abuses the law. No matter what the offense, libs protect their own instead of protecting society. That’s why it’s a valid charge.

”A host on a Canadien business show to a guest that loves capitalism.”

^^Lang & O’Leary has been doing that shtick for years. He makes offensive comments to goad a reaction from her and she puts him in his place. He had his own show for a short time but it bombed because saying offensive things is only funny if you have someone to make fun of you for doing it.

BTW Lang is no flaming liberal. Her politics are a lot closer to Marie Bartiromo than Erin Burnett.

The only reason we know Wendy Davis’s name is because she OPPOSED a bill that would have limited the Gosnell-level atrocities from happening in Texas. She filibustered for a Texas-based Gosnell’s right to slaughter.

There will be fewer dead mothers now in Texas … over the strongest of objections of Wendy Davis, who is pro-mother-slaughter…

Farris, the problem is you’re comparing then and now. Now, the NRA’s attitude is quite simply to say that, since criminals don’t obey laws, we shouldn’t have gun laws and shouldn’t bother trying to keep guns out of their hands.

Mayor Dawn Zimmer is clamming up about Gov. Chris Christie. Zimmer, who on Saturday alleged that Christie’s administration withheld Hurricane Sandy relief funds because the mayor wouldn’t support a politically connected development in the city’s north end, today said she’s no longer speaking to the media about the scandal. This is after at one appearance on MSNBC last Saturday, when she first aired her claims, and two on CNN, the last one on Monday night. She declined to speak to Fox News. But her lips are sealed from now on, Zimmer, a Democrat, said in a statement she issued this morning. ”The U.S. Attorney’s Office has asked that we not conduct additional media interviews and we are respecting their request,” the statement reads.

Something to think about:

After scandals such as this, it usually isn’t long before an inner circle begins to break down, before betrayals seep out and one-time loyalists try to cash in on a quick moment in the spotlight. There are usually disgruntled staffers who may have felt undervalued or underappreciated, people who are all too happy to share juicy tidbits or convey, even off the record, that yes . . . this is the way things are done around here, and there’s more. There are self-savers who can see a sinking ship from miles away, know all the information that can potentially leak out, and jump at an opportunity to escape blame or seem noble. And there are fame-grabbers, who might not have any axes to grind or retribution to seek, but just want to be the one to tell a reporter a secret. In the case of Christie — and it’s still early — there’s been none of this. There have been no reports, on or off the record, from within the Christie administration confirming even the smallest detail or suggesting that Christie’s office is a place where something like this might occur. Where are the moles? The turncoats? The whistleblowers? The opportunists?

Farris, the problem is you’re comparing then and now. Now, the NRA’s attitude is quite simply to say that, since criminals don’t obey laws, we shouldn’t have gun laws and shouldn’t bother trying to keep guns out of their hands.</em.

What a load of crap. The NRA has always been in favor of keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and mental patients. And they still are.

What a load of crap. The NRA has always been in favor of keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and mental patients. And they still are.

Did I say they WANTED criminals to have guns? No, I said they simply think it’s impossible to do and oppose any regulation that would do that. As for mental patients, the only thing they’ve proposed is a grotesquely unconstitutional law that’s an even more dangerous “Slippery slope” than background checks or even gun registration.

“Where are the moles? The turncoats? The whistleblowers? The opportunists?”

^^ Still way to early Pam. This is going to go on for months. There will be plenty of states witnesses coming forth in order to stay out of jail. I do note everybody on the Christie side has lawyered up – many at the taxpayers expense.

I didn’t say you did. But I’m used to the Leftists here claiming that they are being “misquoted.” What you DID say was that their view is “we shouldn’t have gun laws and shouldn’t bother trying to keep guns out of their hands.”

Besides the people who are anti muslims who’s in a uproar that people in the military are now going to be allowed to wear turbans and have beards based on their religious beliefs?

Seems like FNC is trying to only make this about how now Muslins can be in the U.S. Military and have a turban and beard when this new rule also about other religions.

Gretchen opened her segment saying there is a “Heated debate”.

Beards are a safety matter. Hard to get a tight seal on a gas mask, or a proper fit with an oxygen mask (for aircrews) with a beard. This was suggested a good number of years ago and rejected for obvious reasons.

However, Jews, Muslims, and Sikhs have been able to wear their respective headgear for years.

Fox News host Bill O’Reilly will interview President Obama before this year’s Super Bowl, which will be broadcast on Fox. O’Reilly told a crowd in Boston Saturday night that he secured the Obama interview with a handshake deal last month. Now, the details have been squared away. The interview will take place at the White House, live around 4:30pmET on Super Bowl Sunday. Following the live interview, O’Reilly will conduct an additional taped…

A state senator in Oklahoma has proposed a bill — dubbed the Piers Morgan Constitutional Right to Keep and Bear Arms Without Infringement Act — that would allow law-abiding citizens to obtain firearms without a gun license.

“If the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control, because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it,” he continued. “Let us take that discussion all across America, because women are far more than the Democrats have played them to be.”

Ice also falls into the trap of ascribing the words to Huckabee himself and not, as the actual quote says, is what he’s claiming DEMOCRATS say. You can agree or disagree with his synopsis all you want, but it’s outright slander to say he’s claiming that it’s his position.

I leave for the cabin tomorrow with most of season 5 left. My satellite internet there would eat up an entire month’s data allowance to watch a single Netfix episode. I’m not unhappy. Something to look forward to rather than the sadness of it ending.

How did I make up a quote? That’s what Huckabee said,
“If the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing them for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of government, then so be it.”
“Women I know are outraged that the Democrats think that women are nothing more than helpless and hopeless creatures whose only goal in life is to have the government provide for them birth control medication,” he added. “Our party stands for the recognition of the equality of women and the capacity of women. That’s not a war on them, it’s a war for them.”http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2014/01/23/huckabee-riffs-on-uncle-sugar-and-womens-libidos/http://www.nbcnews.com/video/nbc-news/54157443#54157443

He said a similar thing on his show last Saturday.

Because Leno started to make fun of Obama and is leaving the Tonight Show Hannty now keeps saying Leno is the “King of Late night”.
Was Hannity praising Leno when Bush was in office and Leno was making fun of Bush?

To be fair, Bieber’s incident caused traffic to backup. And if the past 2 weeks has taught us anything, it’s that causing traffic to backup is worse than murder and is the most important event in human history since the invention of water.

Bieber has a huge collection of fans and haters. Not a bad move by CNN to draw some eyeballs. He was a sweet kid who tasted success and decided he wanted to act like a thug, surround himself with those that would help him do so, and here came Drugs knocking. It’s pretty much the standard three act play of tragedy. Drew a crowd in Shakespeere’s day. Nothing really changes.

ice says: “Because Leno started to make fun of Obama and is leaving the Tonight Show Hannty now keeps saying Leno is the “King of Late night””.

Season to date, “The Tonight Show” is off to its biggest start 16 weeks into a new TV season in three years in 18-49 viewers and total viewers. Fallon is delivering his biggest 18-49 audience 16 weeks into the season in three years and his top total-viewer average in the five years he’s been hosting “Late Night.”

Versus the first 16 weeks of the year-ago season, Leno is up 7% in 18-49 viewers (with 1.130 million vs. 1.052 million) and up 8% in total viewers (3.827 million vs. 3.543 million). Fallon is up 17% in 18-49 viewers (792,000 vs. 677,000) so far this season and up 14% in total viewers (1.952 million vs. 1.705 million).

From TV by the Numbers

From Perez Hilton: Letterman beats Leno for the first time in 17 years! If you are on the top for 17 years I think you can safely be called the King of Late Night and even though he slipped in 2011 he is right back up there again.

Maybe less people watch news channels because they are not news channels. As I said before FNC and MSNBC are partisan channels pandering to their respective political bases.
Plus not only can you get news on the internet, you can get biased news from conservative and liberal websites.

AJA is trying though I’m not sure they are ever going to carriage in as many places as the other big 3 cable news channels.
Plus you have the people who not even going to tune into AJA because of the middle eastern connections of Al Jazeera.

When the FNC top story at 1pm iis a FOX News Alert on a FOX News poll that says support for Obamacare is at an all time low in my opinion they are are not reporting real news at the top of their newscast.

Do we know who they surveyed?
If they are FOX News Viewers of course they don’t like Obamacare.😛

But you didn’t say it when MSNBC led off with bad polls about Republicans.
… or when NBC led off with bad polls about Republicans.
.,.. or when ABC led off with bad polls about Republicans.
… or when CBS led off with bad polls about Republicans.
… or when CNN led off with bad polls about Republicans.
… or when HLN led off with bad polls about republicans.
… or when the NYT top headline was about bad polls on Republicans.
… or when the USAT top headline was about bad polls on Republicans.
… or when the WaPo top headline was about bad polls on Republicans.
… or when NPR led off with bad polls about Republicans.
… or when PBS led off with bad polls about Republicans.

Somehow, it’s only when FNC leads off with a bad poll about Democratics/Democratic interests that a unwritten rule of journalism is broken.

Good golly man do a little research if you are so interested in who they surveyed. There IS ALWAYS information about if they did adults, registered voters, the demographics re: race, age, political party and all other kinds of things. You just have to look for it.

The real question to ask is do YOU ask that same question when CBS, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, NYT, PPP, Washington Post, Gallup, Quinnipiac, etc have polls and Fox News does a story on those numbers?

Yet another profile of Megyn Kelly where she claims she is doing a news show.

Parade: Why has your show resonated with viewers?
If you watch Bill O’Reilly or ­Sean Hannity or even my ­competition on other channels, these are anchors who come out and argue a position. That’s not me. What I do is the news. I can put a sharp point on it in a way that offers compelling television, but I’m not giving advice to politicians.http://www.parade.com/255582/erinhill/fox-news-megyn-kelly-on-politics-and-parenting/

Doing the news is putting theatrics into the introduction of a story?

Just because you are not outright stating your opinion does not mean you are doing a news show as opposed to an opinion show.
As some have said many times before. Megyn is good at presenting a conservative anti-liberal POV as news.

Only Megyn and her super fans believe she is a “Straight news anchor” doing a newscast.

“The real question to ask is do YOU ask that same question when CBS, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, NYT, PPP, Washington Post, Gallup, Quinnipiac, etc have polls and Fox News does a story on those numbers?”

Most times I tune into the other cable news channels at the top of the hour their lead story is not poll results.

Yes I do ask the same question of polls used on other news channels. While I’m not saying the FNC poll is rigged,
you can pretty much word a poll question or be selective in who you ask to get the poll results you want.

Oh oh. Remember when I asked if the MSM would cover the March for Life? Sounds like even the NYT Public Editor had a problem with the coverage by the Times.

You know what the Times didn’t make space to cover in its Thursday edition? Public Editor Margaret Sullivan criticized her paper over its complete lack of coverage of the March for Life:

“Hundreds, if not thousands, of New Yorkers – many of them Catholics – piled onto buses in the freezing cold and headed down to Washington this week for the 41st annual March for Life, the world’s largest anti-abortion gathering.

Was this local participation, or the event itself, worthy of a news story in the paper of record? Apparently not.

The Times, in print, published only a stand-alone photograph of the event on Page A17 with a two-line caption on Thursday. …

The lack of staff coverage unfortunately gives fuel to those who accuse The Times of being anti-Catholic, and to those who charge that the paper’s news coverage continually reflects a liberal bias. But more important, the event had significant news value. In Thursday’s paper, it deserved more than a photograph.”

At 4pm,
AJA is covering the mall shooting as a part of their regular 4pm newscast. Lisa Stark reporting.
FNC preempts taped programming and goes to Doug McKelway and Uma Pemmaraju anchoring from D.C.
MSNBC goes to Karen Finney.
CNN has Miguel Marquez anchoring from NYC.

I’m surprised MSNBC didn’t call Thomas Roberts in. He’s the best Breaking News person they have right now – well next to Chris Jansing. And he’s actually from the Baltimore area so he knows something about Baltimore and Columbia.

The recent high profile shootings (including today’s) have featured shotguns, the most popular type of hunting long gun. Readily available, low cost, and you don’t have to be much of a marksman to hit your target at moderate range. Only a complete ban on firearms with draconian confiscation remove them from the picture. Short of the declaration of martial law, that ain’t about to happen.

Understood, it’s just funny how FNC has no problem going after liberals when they mess up like Wendy Davis but when a conservative does something FNC whines that the coverage to much, The Chris Christie Scandals, and a vast conspiracy to bash conservatives, The Huckabee Birth Control comments.

Reliable Sources should do a segment on FNC’s coverage of Huckabee’s comments.

Imagine what FNC would be like if they did not spend 25% of their daily programming schedule complaining about the MSM and devoted that to covering news.

There’s lame conservative comedian Ryan Reiss on Huckabee doing his man on the street segment bashing Obama.
It’s segments like that keeping us divided politically and it’s just not funny.

Do you think that people shouldn’t be allowed to criticize or make fun of the president? Hillary Clinton (and others) said that dissent was the sincerest form of patriotism the last time a Republican was in office, now the left sees it as tantamount to treason.

Man, MEDIABUZZ featured strong, tough (smart I think) back and forthwith on both sides of issues today with Howie at his best as ref. Such a great show, I don’t think I can bear watching the DVR of RELIABLE SOURCES today, not that an interview with Robert Redford won’t be reliable.

I have watched every SOTU address since, well, I’m not sure I’ve ever not watched at least part of every one since I started wearing long pants? Not this time. I feel the guy is so dishonest it pains me to watch him. I’ll just wait for the next day summary on CSS THIS MORNING.

Larry, the only thing that I’m interested in hearing him say is that he has sent a letter to the Secretary of State resigning the presidency. Nothing else the lying POS would have to say would interest me in the least.

They ought to have a show called USUAL SUSPECTS. It would celebrity news. Who was arrested, who’s in rehab, who forgot their undies in public…in other words, the information the public is clamoring for while the whole country is going down to terlit.
